The Monastery of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers on the site of abandoned mines near Yekaterinburg called Ganina Yama was founded on October 1.2000. Here, after a long search, the remains of seven members of the royal family killed in July 1918, their entourage, a servant and a doctor were found. In July 1918, they tried to destroy the remains with fire and acid, but they managed to identify the found part of the remains, although disputes do not subside to this day. The first Poklonny Cross was erected on the site of Mine No. 7 in 1991.
There are seven active temples in the Monastery according to the number of members of the royal family. There is a museum dedicated to the royal family, primarily to Nicholas II and the history of those years. There was no trial of the king, he abdicated the throne more than a year before, foreign relatives were not eager to accept the royal family - the destruction of the Great Power was beneficial to them.
We are well aware of the "crimes of accursed tsarism" from history lessons in schools and the course of the history of the CPSU in universities. Indeed, there were quite a few negative aspects of the activities of Nicholas II, and the role of the tsarina (Princess of Hesse) in creating an explosive situation in Russia is significant: the fascination with the dubious personality of Rasputin, finding out and communicating information of a defensive nature to their German relatives in war conditions, etc. You can understand this - “about the dead either good or nothing.
The local museum presents lesser-known facts - how quickly on the eve of the war Russia was picking up the pace of development, eliminating the existing backlog from other powers, and in a number of indicators even overtaking them. For example, in 1912, Russia became a leader in the aircraft industry, having created the world's first heavy multi-engine aircraft "Russian Knight" designed by Sikorsky.
The construction of such a 7-seater four-engine aircraft was not even planned in any other country, and the press reports about the flights of the Russian Knight were at first considered a newspaper “duck”! The next aircraft giant, at that time, Ilya Muromets, became the first multi-engine heavy aircraft to be mass-produced. I will add that in the same 1912, the Monaco car designed and manufactured in Russia - a sports version of the Russo-Balt - for the first time and very successfully took part in the Monte Carlo rally.
But the World War began, which claimed more than 10 million human lives, marked the beginning of the collapse of empires: Austria-Hungary, Russia and the British Empire. A flurry of anti-monarchist revolutions swept through Europe: 1917 - a revolution in Portugal, 2 revolutions in Russia, 5 revolutions in Spain at the beginning of the last century, 1919 - the creation of the Bavarian Soviet Republic in Germany ...from Germany, the ideas of communism came to Russia .. .
